Jim Dixon Lyr Req: The Rose in Her Hair (Dubin, Warren) (28) Lyr Add: A ROSE IN HER HAIR (Dubin/Warren) 13 Mar 14


Here's a version I heard on Spotify:


THE ROSE IN HER HAIR
English words by Al Dubin; music by Harry Warren; ©1935.
Italian words by Manuel Emanuel.*
As sung by Dick Powell on "The Great Songwriters – Harry Warren" (2012)

CHORUS: In her eyes, there was moonlight and the rose in her hair.
In my arms, there was no one, so I just put her there.
On her lips was a promise; in my heart was a prayer.
When I finally went, I went home with the scent
Of the rose in her hair.

VERSE: Love is a rose and it grows like a rose.
I found a rose nestled in someone's hair.
Sweet was the rose, and never a maid was so fair.

[Repeat chorus]

[Chorus replacing lyrics with "ah-ah-ah" etc.]

[Chorus in Italian that I am unable to transcribe.]
